That's all the coverage we have from this game. Hop on to the next tab where Australia and West Indies are battling it out in a T20 in Barbados. Till then, this is Siddharth P, signing off on the behalf of Pradeep, Srivathsa, Kiran and Sriram. Tada

@Madrasmad on Twitter: Albie Morkel to Ashwin - hey, could you take this bag for me? I'll pick it up later.

Botha: The game was evenly poised. The strip was good for batting. The guys were relaxed, that was the motto for the game. I have played quite a bit with Ingram and I know what he can do. He has showed just that at the international stage today. Kallis and Ingram gave a good platform to launch at the end. Gambhir and Robin played a lot of shots, but they were going at only 9 an over. We knew that we would be in the game if we restricted them for a few overs. It was a great crowd, thank you to them for coming out at such a short notice. Coming back to captaincy felt good. We are all looking forward to the IPL. Few of my teammates tonight will be opponents.

Colin Ingram is the Man of the Match for his knock of 78(50).

Cricket South Africa have given an award to Kallis.

Today's match saw fireworks from the South African batsmen and just when the Indian batsmen, especially Gambhir, were beginning to display theirs, rain dampened them out. Ontong played a blinder at the end to boost the score above the 200 mark. During India's chase, Gambhir playing some sublime strokes to help India stay on par even as Uthappa, at the other end, struggled to time the ball well. Although the required rate was high, India were looking set to get close to it. Unfortunately, rain had the final laugh, and it meant that South Africa won the game. They haven't had much luck with the Duckworth and Lewis in the past, but today it went their way.

The match has been called off! South Africa have won this one-off encounter by 11 runs.

Folks, it's still raining at the Wanderers

The cut-off time is 9 PM local time, that is about 45 minutes from now. From then, the overs will begin to be reduced.

News is just pouring in that it is still raining at the Wanderers. It has lessened, but not to an extent that play can be resumed.

While we wait for any news update, here is a funny one-liner from Twitter. @sunilea says: Duckworth Lewis favoring the proteas #Ripleys.

The players are walking off the field. It has begun to rain harder. The covers are coming on and the crowd goes into 'Boo' mode. If play doesn't restart, South Africa will win by 11 runs.

The players are out in the middle.. It is a sell-out, not all seats have filled up as yet though

South Africa have rested most of the players who toured New Zealand. Johan Botha is pleased with the composition of the squad saying that the match will provide an opportunity to some fringe players . India have sent in their full strength squad despite some vehement protests from the IPL franchises. The forecast for the day is for some showers, one hopes that rain will not have the final say in the match. As of now there is no rain in the horizon.

Hello, and a warm welcome to one and all to the one off T20 between India and South Africa from the Bull Ring, Johannesburg. This match is being hosted to mark the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Indian settlement in South Africa. The South African board has also used the match as an occasion to honor Jacques Kallis, one of their best ever all-rounders. Stay tuned for the toss and team updates..

India will take on South Africa today in a one-off Twenty20 international which is being organised to commemorate 150 years of the settlement of the Indians in South Africa. Indian cricket, after passing through the turbulent Australian tour, and the somewhat bittersweet Asia Cup, is all set for the IPL. This match will be the last of this season, and both teams will look to end on a high. The scheduling of this game did raise certain eyebrows as the Indian players had to travel more than 24 hours for a match which will last one-eighth of that duration, but India will look to fight fatigue and try to outdo a strong South African side.

IndiaThe match is happening just after the Asia Cup, in which India lost just one match, to Bangladesh, but could not make it to the finals. Looking at their T20I form, in the last two games, they have won and lost a game each against Australia. In the first game, they were out-batted by the Aussies, while they bounced back in the next game, to bowl Australia out for a meager score. Overall, India have never seemed to have any problem in the T20s, except the World Cup. One fact which is often overlooked is that the Indian cricketers have not really played many International T20s, but most of the guys in the current squad can be called as veterans of the format, because of the exposure in the IPL. A 15 man squad has landed in South Africa which includes the likes of Robin Uthappa and Yusuf Pathan. It will be interesting to see if skipper MS Dhoni gives a chance to these guys or sticks to the usual Rainas and Rohit Sharmas. Despite this being a one-off affair, the players will realise that it is an important practice match ahead of the IPL.

South AfricaThe Proteas were hosted by New Zealand for a long tour, involving T20s, ODIs and a Test series. The Kiwis gave them a good fight and even won the first T20, but the visitors came up trumps in the remaining two games. Though JP Duminy and AB de Villiers looked in good nick, one player walked away with all the laurels and the headlines: Richard Levi. This burly right hander smashed a record breaking 13 sixes in a 51 ball marathon innings and in the process, scored the fastest T20I century. His exploits won him fans all over the world and soon enough, the Mumbai franchise of the IPL came knocking at his door. He will certainly look forward to impressing his Indian boss with a good showing in this game. Another success story was that of pacer Marchant de Lange, a hefty guy who bowls with extreme pace with a short run-up, but he will not be part of the squad for this one-off match. Regular skipper de Villiers and vice-captain Hashim Amla have been rested for this game and the mantle will be taken up by Johan Botha. Farhaan Behardien and Dane Vilas have been included in the South African line-up for the first time, while Morne Van Wyk will be in charge of the glove-work.
